Ted Cruz: New Gun Control Proposals 'Unconstitutional'

[truthisfreedom]

22. The problem is, every time one of these laws is suggested or enacted, high-capacity mags and

assault-style weapons fly off the shelves at gun shops. You can't even find high-capacity magazines in the Minneapolis area right now. We don't reduce the number of these types of guns by drawing attention to them and talking about banning them. We only increase the paranoia and increase sales. Ask ANYONE who works at a gun store if what I'm saying is true. They'll all say yes. I have a good friend who monitors this stuff and talks about it all the time. He visits gun stores every week and checks the stock of various critical items... things are going crazy right now. He was a gun dealer during the early period of the last assault weapon ban and he made money hand over fist, and the number of guns that sold BEFORE ENACTMENT as a result of the laws far exceeded the number of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that would have naturally sold over that 10 year period of the ban. In addition, many new devices were created by gun makers that caused the laws to be thwarted in various ways using aftermarket devices. Sales of these things always go UP when we do this stuff.

If we're going to get serious, we'll have to make ownership of assault weapons illegal. Period. Which means the government will be coming for our guns. Or your guns, rather. I own a bb gun and a 20 gauge shotgun which I keep at a log home in the middle of nowhere for shooting skeet.
